Common Questions

Not necessarily — reach out and we can discuss options. For guitar students it's helpful to have something to practice on at home, but we can talk through affordable starter setups.
13 years old is the ideal starting age for full 45-minute sessions. For younger students, reach out to discuss shorter lesson formats and adjusted pricing that works better for their attention span and development.
Payment is due at the end of each lesson. All forms of payment are accepted — Venmo, check, or cash are the most convenient.
Life happens — just give as much notice as possible if you need to reschedule. A full cancellation policy will be discussed when you book your first lesson.
Absolutely — many students explore multiple instruments. We'd just schedule separate lesson slots for each. Reach out to discuss what that might look like.

Jamie's Band Projects

Beyond teaching, Jamie is an active musician. As drummer for Sons of Greenwich — a fuzz-drenched doom metal band out of Erving, MA — he brings the same dedication to feel and groove that he brings to every lesson.

Rooted in 70s hard rock, psychedelia, and the heavy weight of sludge and stoner metal, Sons of Greenwich are preparing to release their debut EP Hadal and hit stages throughout the Northeast.
